(MSC News)--Two additional individuals have been charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a St. Joseph teenager last month in what authorities are now calling a drug deal gone bad.
The St. Joseph News Press reports Buchanan County Attorney Dwight Scroggins Monday charged 20-year-old Justin Smith, of Agency, and 19-year-old St. Joseph resident Dayne Matthews in connection with the death of 18-year-old Skylar Powell.
Smith was charged with voluntary manslaughter and armed criminal action. Matthews was charged with possession of a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence.
The two men appeared in a Buchanan County courtroom Monday morning on the felony charges. Bond for Smith was set at $50,000 and at $25,000 for Matthew’s.
A preliminary hearing for each was set for June 27th.
A 16-year-old boy was charged with second-degree murder last week in the case, and is to make his next appearance in juvenile court June 22nd.
Powell was found dead in a parking lot in the 22-hundred block of Frederick Avenue the morning of May 18th.
